Planting A Garden

To get the most out of planting a garden, it is important to prepare ahead of time. Preferably during the off season.

There are many types of gardens and that is the first task at hand.

Decide up front what type of garden you would like to create.

For example: Aquaponics Systems is a NEW "evolutionary concept" of gardening that is sweeping the nation. It takes very little space and almost no work involved for a bountiful supply of vegetables.

Choosing a good location is more important than good soil You can always improve poor soil, but it is nearly impossible to improve a bad location.

But beyond such practical considerations are additional benefits: the pleasure of working with the soil, of watching seeds sprout and grow, and of knowing that the food on your table is a product of your own labor.
